Climate Change Adaptation Plan
|
About
The Town of Port au Port East is developing its first Climate Change Adaptation Plan (CCAP). The plan will include a risk assessment framework and 10-year actions to make the overall community more resilient and prepared to deal with a changing future.
Climate change is happening but what happens next is up to us.
How can we prepare for warmer and more extreme weather?
And what can YOU do to help build a more resilient future?
Why do we need a plan?
Climate change brings rising sea levels, stronger storms, and unpredictable weather patterns that directly threaten the infrastructure, homes, and safety of Port au Port East. Developing a CCAP is essential to proactively identify these local vulnerabilities, protect our community assets, and secure long-term funding for resilient infrastructure. Without a structured strategy, our community risks costly emergency responses and irreversible damage to our local way of life.
Why is community involvement needed?
Community involvement ensures that the CCAP reflects local knowledge, lived experiences, and the unique priorities of Port au Port East residents. When community members actively participate in shaping resilience strategies, local buy-in increases and implementation becomes far more effective.
How to stay involved
Follow the town’s Facebook page and check back here for updates. Feel free to also call the Town Office during regular business hours for any updates.
Climate Change Adaptation Plan Survey
The public survey, launched on September 23, gathers local observations and priorities from residents of Port au Port East to help shape the community's CCAP. It is important because it ensures that strategies for tackling coastal erosion, flooding, and infrastructure risks are driven by the actual experiences and needs of the people living there. By sharing their insights, residents directly contribute to building local resilience and preparedness against future weather extremes.
Please complete the survey – there will be 5 draws for $100 gift cards after the survey closes on November 30.
Paper copies will also be made available at the Town Office on September 23.
